5416earthday640On April 22, the Green Team hosted two Earth Day celebrations on The Auxiliary Bridge at main campus and Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus.

Vendors provided eco-friendly, cost-saving tips to employees and patient families including how to become more energy efficient, tips on eating green and ways to reduce waste and recycle more.

Special guests HEB Buddy entertained the crowd at main campus while our very own West Campus Vice President Matt Schaefer dressed up as Earl The Bear to greet our employees and patient families.

Customized Green Team water bottles made of 100 percent recyclable materials and seeded confetti packets were distributed to attendees.

The Earth Day events also included tree plantings at Main and West campuses thanks to the generous donations from Trees for Houston.
